Halloween Ends is set to hit theaters on October 15, 2021. Written by Green, McBride, Paul Brad Logan and Chris Bernier, it will also feature Carpenter and Curtis as executive producers.
Curtis took to Twitter to celebrate the news and confirm the return of her iconic horror heroine Laurie Strode.

Directed by David Gordon Green from a script by himself, Danny McBride and Scott Teems, Halloween Kills stars Jamie Lee Curtis. The film is set to hit theaters on Oct. 16, 2020.
